So no more US Remake huh?


Too bad, because the show was amazing and it would be interesting to see what the remake would have been like.

I'm a man of few words. Thank you.

The american remake got cancelled quite a while ago because David Fincher was asking for far too much money.

I'm glad.

It's for the best, no need for a remake at all, just a season 3 to wrap things up (i can still dream)

Why remake a show that is already in english? Seems completely pointless to me.

reply

Because Americans always think, they can do everything better.

Sopranos - Breaking Bad - The Wire

Wilfred, Shameless and The Office were all better once we got a hold of them in my opinion but usually we just mess stuff up....like "Democracy" for instance.

reply

Not The Office and not democracy.

All great and precious things are lonely.

reply

Yeah, in your opinion....

The American version of The Office was OK, good in parts, but the original, British, version is much, much better.

Shameless US is indeed far superior.

Yeah I feel conflicted about it. On the one hand, the show is perfect, on the other, I would have liked to see it wrapped up.

reply

David Fincher alone would've made it amazing.

reply

US remake is out.
Season 1 is pretty close to the UK version.
